Hmmm, looks quite big...

Now that's a hood.

I cannot remember what this particular conversation was about, but I get the impression that Benny is not completely buying whatever Gabor is saying

Where can I find an F - S/C adapter?
I'd love to use a 2.1cm Nikkor on my *new* (to me) SP.

Just trying to revitalize the thread. Nikkor 21mm f4.0 F-mount on a Nikon S2 (with Cosina F-S adapter). Kodak 5231 +X movie stock - rated at 100 iso and developed in Beutler 1:1:10/6 min.
Chrome valve cover on a 225 cu" slant six!!!!!

Did Nikon ever produce the RF 21/4 in LTM?

I don't think so. I'm really interested in the symmetrical non-retrofocus superwides like this one, the Super Angulon, the Canon 19, etc.
They just don't make 'em like they used to!

Thanks heavens, there's one less lens to lust after! I've been bitten by the LTM Nikkor bug. So far I have: 28/3.5, 35/2.5, 35/1.8, 50/3.5 rigid, 50/2, 50/1.4, 85/2, 105/2.5. If there's no 21/4, I think the only ones left I'd want are: 25/4, 50/3.5 Micro (yeah, right) and 50/2 collapsible.

Extremely hard to find. I think the F -S/C adapter is rarer than the S-mount 2.1cm Nikkor, and there's only 298 of those.

[ferider]

I know that bug, Ari

If I would shoot wider than 28, I would try the F-mount 21/4 with an F/M adapter (for example by Kipon, for US 88 ...).

Ari, you're missing the 85/1.5! Except you'll have to use it on a Nikon RF.

Looking at the price difference between the LSM 25/4 and the S mount lens, you could buy the Nikon RF lens AND a Mint S2 or Exc SP for the cost of the screwmount rarity. Wow.

Phil Forrest

[jonmanjiro]

The 85/1.5 was made in LTM as well as S-mount and Contax mount. The only S-mount Nikkors not made in LTM are the Nikkor-O 2.1cm f4 and Nikkor-T 10.5cm f4.

Thanks for the correction Jon, I guess the 85/1.5 is rare enough that I couldn't find one nor have I ever seen one for sale.

menos has been posting some great photos taken with his LTM 8.5cm f1.5 in this thread: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/foru...d.php?t=121186

Oh yeah, forgot about the 85/1.5! Thanks for reminding me (I think).

I've seen the LTM 25/4 sell for as low as $800 (I managed to snooze through that one on eBay, user condition but with hood!) and as high as $2500 (B&H near mint with caps and case) One day I'll rationalize treating myself to a decent example, but not today.

I almost bought one from the RFF classifieds last year, but chickened out in the end.

True, Roland -- your posts are partly responsible for my having contracted it.

You don't go wider than 28mm? Ah, perhaps if I hadn't given up 35mm film for crop-sensor digital I'd feel uncomfortable with the 21mm and 25mm....
I love my Canon 25/3.5 LTM, so I'm able to keep my Nikkor lust in check for now.

BTW -- my apologies to all and sundry for the temporary thread hijack.

Nothing like a photo to keep your lust well and truly alive, Phil.

Due to the DOF of such a lens, there is no need for using the SLR version only on Nikon S cameras. Is it easy to find an M adapter?

F-S/C and F/M adapters exists, but the SLR version of the Nikkor-O 2.1cm f4 is not rangefinder coupled on either an S-mount camera or an M-mount camera.

The F-M adapter is MUCH easier to find than the F-S/C adapter.

From your question, I take it that you think the F-mount Nikkor-O 2.1cm f4 is rangefinder coupled on an S-mount body???

[raid]

Not at all. I know that the less costly F version is not RF coupled. I use a Minolta Rokkor 2.1cm 4 and a Canon 19mm 3.5 each with an adapter on M bodies, without the RF coupling. The RF coupling is not really needed.

I was asking about the adapter for using the SLR F version (without RF coupling) Nikkor 2.1cm on the M.
